Which markers are found on all nucleated cells?

MHC class II molecules are found on:

Once an MHC II molecule on an APC presents an antigen:

If an effector CD4 cell encounters an antigen presented on a MHC Class II molecule, how would it respond?

Complete the table to indicate which MHCs are present for each cell.

Why are packed red blood cells not tissue typed? Select all that apply. (NCLEX/HESI/TEAS)

a. Red blood cells lack MHC II.

b. Red blood cells lack MHC I.

c. Red blood cells can’t stimulate an immune response.

d. Red blood cells aren’t transferred to others.

e. Red blood cells don’t make antibodies and therefore do not need to be typed.
